Resumen: This article gives an insight into the transnational possibilities of the Instapoetry by Nikita Gill, a British-Indian writer who has become a well-known and influential feminist poet. In this sense, it is posited that Gill's poetry aims at the creation and strengthening of feminist synergies worldwide, ultimately creating a transnational network of empathy bonds that embodies the principles of transnational feminism. Through a close reading of a selection of Gill's digital poems, I demonstrate how her Instapoetry serves as a vital tool for enhancing feminist solidarity and cultivating a global dialogue rooted in empathy and empowerment.
